I built the Practice Planner because I was tired of practice plans scribbled on notebook paper, lost in a folder or living in five different places. Every coach knows the feeling of walking into the gym with a plan that made sense at lunch and falls apart by the second drill. This puts your whole practice on one screen, with the clock times worked out for you, so you can spend your energy coaching instead of checking your watch.
Drag, drop and the clock does the math
Drag drills from the library into your practice script and drop them where you want them. Start times, total minutes and the end time update as you go. Tell it how many players and baskets you have and every drill shows you how to split them up, like 3 lines of 4 or 2 groups at each basket, so you’re never doing math on the whistle.
A drill library organized the way coaches think
Search and filter drills by skill, level, time and number of players. Each one has the setup, the coaching points and the progressions. Add your own drills, star your favorites and link any drill to a play in Play Lab so your players can see exactly how it should look.
Tell it what you need and the AI builds the practice
Pick your goals, how long you have and who’s in the gym. Add a note like “Lost Friday, they pressed us all night and got 14 offensive boards.” The AI builds a full practice from your drill library, your offense and defense, your own terminology and what you’ve already covered this week. Change anything you want before you run it.
Run practice right from your phone
Live mode puts a big countdown, the teaching points and what’s coming next on one screen. It beeps at one minute and at zero. Tap done or skip and every segment gets marked, so later you know what you actually ran and not just what you planned.
Know who showed up
Take attendance right on the practice plan. Mark players present, late, left early, here but didn’t practice, excused, unexcused or no call, no show. Your groups adjust to the players who are actually there, and the attendance report flags the kids you need to talk to.
Plan the season, not just Tuesday
Set a goal for every week of the season. Log your games, note what went wrong and build the next practice around it in one click. Your history shows minutes by category, the skills you’ve taught and the ones you haven’t touched in a while, so nothing falls through the cracks in February.
Print it, share it, take it anywhere
Sign in and your practices follow you from your laptop at home to your phone in the gym. Print a clean practice sheet for your assistants, send your staff a share link, and switch between light and dark mode whenever you want.
